Throttled into oblivion

Moved to Germany on orders and made the mistake of keeping t-mobile. Kids quickly used up the 5 gigs of high-speed data while we were waiting for our home Internet to be installed. Now, we're finding out our 'unlimited' slower speed data is actually very limited.

 

Rather than 256 kbps, we can occasionally get 60 kbps. The speed is so slow and the signal so intermittent that we have trouble loading a plain-text E-mail, we can't login to apps, and most web pages stall out.

 

High-speed data was used up on the 25th of August. T-mobile messaged that our next allocation of high-speed data would begin on the 23rd of September.

 

Guess I'll have to drop t-mobile as soon possible. What an absolute disappointment of a service.

T-Mobile’s international roaming is not intended for long-term service abroad.

Or much of any service abroad.

You could always purchase an international pass for more high speed data.
